More Than Decorations

I am not trying to pick a fight. This post is not about calling out people who do this and labeling anyone bad. This is merely about an observation I made several months ago, which revealed a part about the concept of a trophy and how we as hunters view a trophy. This situation made me reflect on the trophy concept, which can be such a heated discussion.

Watching pre-season football with friends of a friend, the large living room provided a comfortable atmosphere. To my delight, the people who owned the place had a large seven point whitetail skull, (which had been found dead) on a stand in the corner of their living room. It must have been 18 inches wide, with at least 10 inch G2’s. The front tines swept upward, and a four inch kicker off of the left G2 added to the beauty.
